Hack a Day had an interesting little article today about connecting various size coin-cell batteries to breadboards for prototyping. They use a very simple “hack” to get the batteries to stay in place (think “wedging”):

- MSGEQ7 Graphic Equalizer chip with Arduino
The MSGEQ7 chip outputs in 7 EQ bands, and I currently map 6 of those to two RGB LEDs. (Channels 1,2,3 to red, green, and blue of one LED, etc.) I plan on using a an extra set of white LEDs to show the last channel.
